A few months ago, I developed a ColdFusion/Mach-II implementation of the reCAPTCHA API. This type of CAPTCHA requires the person to enter two words rather than a single sequence of random letters. In addition to protecting your website from spam, reCAPTCHA helps digitize text books. They do this by using a mystery word as one of the two words, until there is a consensus about what the correct answer for that word is.
Are you new to ColdFusion? Are you new to the Mach-II framework?
Do you often use the web to find solutions to your development needs?
Yes... Yes... Yes...
I have been writing software and web applications for quite some time. Every now and then,
I have the opportunity to work with a new language or structure. Today... happens to be one
of those opportunities!
I am new to Cold Fusion and Mach-II. I did what I usually do when I am working with a new
application: search the web for a solution or answer! I spent some time searching for an example
of how to retrieve information from a ContentService using SOAP. After a while of reading
numerous pages/documentation/blogs/etc., I realized that I was not going to find a specific answer
to my task. With some guidance, I was eventually able to piece together the code to retrieve and parse
the appropriate data from the contentservice API.
Hopefully, this code snipet will help you. Click below to see the code...
Many modern day websites (in addition to being a source of information for customers) are now providing applications to clients and employees in order to improve customer service and allow instant access to information such as current inventory levels, custom pricing and sales quotes. These applications built into the website for ease of access and “hands free” administration are the reappearance of a software architecture that appeared with the original mainframes.
Websites grow old and die for a variety of reasons, but most notably because site content goes out of date. Since visitors to your site equate the quality of your site with the legitimacy and credibility of your company, you want to make sure that the information you present is clear, concise, relevant, accurate, and up to date. Here at Sitepro, we make it easy to keep your content fresh.
